You could do what the "Old Time" photographer this little tourist trap of a
town was thinking of doing.  His business is making "old time" sepia
portraits for tourists and others.  The atmosphere of the huge old 11 x 14
camera, 1800's clothing, backdrops, etc. is part of the trip.  So, he was
thinking of hiding a small digital camera inside the old 11 x 14 so that
people would think he was still using the old beast.  Of course, the USB
cord coming out of the back of the 11 x 14 camera and into his "darkroom"
might prompt some questions by the sharper tourists.
